TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, ANDREW DICKEY, of Albany, in the county of Albany, and State of New York, have invented an Improved Sad-Iron Support for Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following i'sa full, clear, and exact description thereof, rcferencc'bcing had to theaccompanying drawings,,making apartof this specification, in "which- Q g Figure 1 is a vertical section through a section .of stove-plate adapted for the illuminating-section of a base-burning stove showing the improved sad-iron support, and a sad-iron in position upon it for being heated.

Figure 2 is a front view of the stove-plate section, with one sad-iron support attached.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the sad-iron support, detached from its stove-plate.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures. v

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement, which is designed for adapting a parlor-stove or heater to serve, when des ired, as a means whereby sad-irons can' be conveniently heated, and when it is not desired to heat such irons, the'device, which is necessary to support them in position-upon the sideof the stove, can be readily removed.

The invention consists in a. bracket or support for sad-irons, which is adapted for being attached to the side of a stove-plate'section, in a. position which will allow sad-irons to be placed in front of the illuminatingopenings or doors of a base-burning stove, in the best possible position for-heating thein,.said bracket being so constructed that when it is not inimmediate use itcan' be readily detached from the stove-plate section, so as not to impair the appearance of the stove as a parlor-heater, as will be hereinafter explained.

To enable others skilled in .the'artto understand myinvcntion, I will describe its construction and operation. "The stove-plate A, which I have represented in the accompanying drawings, is one of several sections which are designed for enclosing the fire-chamber of a base-burning stove, and forming'whatds known'as the illuminating-section of such' a stove. This plate has three door or window-openings, 0, through it, which expose to view the light of the fire in thefire-chamber of the stove, which openings are surrounded by flat, projecting surfaces, well adapted for receiving against them the flat surfaces of sad-irons.

I In a stove of the description to which my invention has particular reference, the plates A are arranged around a vertical centre, and stand in slightly-inclined positions. They, are not, however, sufiiciently inclined .to afl'ord a support for holding. in place a sad-ironor other object placed against them.

B represents a bracket, which is constructed withtwo short, upturned arms, a a, and also with a notched arm, 6, which latter projects i'rom the inner side of the bracket, and is notched so as to form a hooked or selffastening for allowing the bracket to be firmly-attached to the stove-platc A, at the base of any one of the doors 0. v v r I An opening, a, is inadethrough the stove-plate A at the base of each door O, which opening is adapted for receiving through it the hooked or notched arm b-of thc bracket B, the said arm being-introduced through the opening c. The bottom edge of this opening will receive the notch in the arm, as shownin fig. 1, and thus firmly retain the bracket B in proper position at the base of one of the openings 0, to receive and support a sad-iron, as indicated in red lines in fig. 1.

To remove the bracket B, it is only necessary to lift it slightly and withdraw the arm 6-.from the opening through the stove plate. i l i I have described and particularly intend the improved sad-ironsupport for base-burning parlor-stoves, but I do not confine mysclfto its use fonthi's' class of stoves, as it is adapted for stoves of various descriptions, having openings through side-plates, which would expose sad-irons placed against them to the heat of the fire.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A removable sad-iron bracket, 13, constructed and adapted for being applied to a stove, substantially as described.
